Severe SOB

Does anyone else have the problem of being extremely short of breath, even at rest?

My iron was very low. That can make you short of breath too. I started taking a supplement and I could breath better within a few days.

Yes. Short of breathe since I found out I was pregnant. Midwife says just hormones. No advice given but I have been doing deep breathing exercises just to stretch my lungs out. Was worse in first trimester but still have it now in third trimester .

Yes .I have. Went to ER last Sunday. If you have chest pain..leg pain..palpitations  as well please go to hospital. It could be a pulmonary embolism.  Mine was diagnosed being my uterus pushing up against my diaphragm. Good luck.
